Road commissions in southwest Michigan have a reminder for those who are posting campaign signs around their communities during this election season. They say it’s important to remember the signs should not block any views of the road, driveways, or intersections. The Van Buren County Road Commission’s Larry Hummel says that applies to any sign, in general.
“Our biggest concern is not who’s running for office, or whose house is for sale, or who needs directions to the next garage sale or yard sale, but that they are installed appropriately,” Hummel told WSJM.
Hummel says if road commission staff notice a sign blocking the view of the road, they will remove the sign and keep it at the road commission office until its owner comes around to get it. He notes that happens a few times every election year.
